Workington continued their build-up of friendlies with a solid 1-0 win at Ashington.
The north-east side play in NPL East and are expected to figure prominently in the coming season.
The only goal of the game came ten minutes from the end when new signing Jamie Allen fired home from 20 yards.
Reds used three trialists from the start – two of them from Gateshead who are likely to link up on loan deals from there.
The fact that Reds made a number of defensive changes in the second-half and were solid at the back throughout the game certainly pleased the manager.
Reds are back in action on Tuesday night at Borough Park against Bolton B and complete their pre-season programme at Clitheroe on Saturday.
